previous, had been filed with divers
lofty or petty hopes aud desires, now

In his work entitled "Jottings

who was for ten years chaplain Of
Clerkenwell Prison, London, says
that among the prisoners three

had the spiritual oversight, which
are by turns pathetic and laughable.

CLiNGlNG TO A WHALE.
How Long Island Fisherman Saved
His Life.

New York Star: The large right
whale which was killed off Amagansett
beach l.. l.. on Thursday, Is down at the
bottom of the sea seven miles from shore.
All day yesterday strenuous efforte were
made to raise the leviathan, but without
success. A tug boat has been engaged
to tow the whale around lMontauk to
Promise Land as soon as it rises, in order
to secure the blubber and bone.
When the whale was first struck by
Captain Jonathan Edwards it lashed the
sea, and with blow of its tail broke IN
two the boat, commanded by
Captain Charles Edwards. All
the crew were rescued except
Captain Charles Edwards. The boats
could not approach him owing to the fury
of the monster. The captain, who is an
expert swimmer, succeeded iii diving
under the whales belly. He came up on
the other side just beside the. whales
nose. In sheer desperation, nothing else
being in reach, he seized the whale by
the lip and hung there until the monster
sank, when he lOosened his hold and was
taken into one of the boats. The boats
that went out were commanded by Capt
ain Josh Edwards, Captain Jonathan
Edwards and Captain Charles Edwards.
David c. Barnes, of Captain Jonathan
Edwards boat, threw the harpoon that
fastened the boats to the whale. 1t was
killed by lance thrown by Captain JON
athan Edwards.

An Appeal for Ireland.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 26.-The executive
board of the Irish National League of
America to-day issued an address to the
"American public and the Irishmen of
America" The address opened with refer
ence to the appeal by the champion of Dublin
to the Irish World to protect humanity
against further oppression Of the
Irish people by the British
government and reviews the present
political situation at length, and closes with
an appeal to the American press and people
to pass their verdict and say boldly IL the
Irish have not displayed all the forbearance
that human nature Is capable of in their pas
sive resistance to such inhuman laws as those
to which the British g!oyernment would have
il nothing will satisfy The British
government but the destruction of
the Irish people, Ireland will be justified
before GOD and man in selling her life at the
heaviest price she can obtain, and in using
every weapon the ingenuity of man can place
within her reach. Consideration of the
policy of the British government by the
American public Is asked III order to help avert
such catastrophe. The address urges the
reorganization of disbanded branches OF the
league and the establishment of new ones
and asks that the Irish people living on
farms too widely separated from each other
to form branches, send their names and SUBJ
scriptiOns to Rev. DR.. O'Reilly, at Detroit,
who will acknowledge the same through the
press. The address Is signed by John Fitz-
gerald, president OF the league.

Jackson's inauguration.

When Jackson was inaugurated his
numerous friends were determined to
give him public reception. upon
his entrance into the district.
gress. Finally it was reported that
he had arrived at Fredericktown, in
Maryland. Nothing further was heard
from him, and there was considerable
doubt as to his movements. His friend,
John A. Eaton, who was senator from
Tennessee, learned that he would reach
Rockville on the Goth, and, keeping his
own counsel. he went to that village in
private conveyance, and there meeting
the general, quietly escorted HIM to this
city. Some pieces of ordnance were sta
toned on the Heights of Georgetown to
welcome the president.elect and to an
nounce his arrival to the citizens. The
streets were thronged with expect.
ant citizens, but as the day wore on
and ne did not come there
was great uncertainty. General John V.
Van Ness, the chairman of the central
committee mounted his horse and rode
something definite. When on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. near Georgetown, he met
the carriage Of General Eaton and saw
General jackson sitting by his side. The
carriage had passed the men in charge of
the guns without their knowing that it
contained the president-elect, and so the
salute was not fired. General Van Ness
rode along by the carriage, and the en-
tire party proceeded to the National hotel,
where thousands of the citizens repaired
and offered their congratulations. Cen
cral Jackson was inaugurated on the 4th
of March, on the eastern portico of the
capitol, in the presence of 10000 people.
The president elect walked from his quar-
ters at the hotel to the capitol, where he
took the oath of Office and read his in
inaugural address. He then mounted a
horse and rode to the executive mansion,
hat in hand, his head towering over the
heads of the throng, and the air resound-
ing with shouts and plaudits of the multi.
tndCs that lined the streets.

PITTsBURG, March 26.-A disagreement
has arisen between the Pittsburg railroad
coal operators and the railway people which

81 for this year. A committee reported this
morning that the railroad people had finally

they would not accept such rate, which

lieved, however, that operators will accept q
compromise OF 30 cents.

The Missouri River Falling.

BISMARCK, OAK, March 26-The river is
falling rapidly to-day and workmen are able
to repair the Northern Pacific bridge. No
trains can run over the bridge before Mon.
day, but transfer is being satisfactorily made
by boats. A citizen of Mclean county brings
intelligence that the gorge seven miles below
Washburn is six miles wide and the water
covers the prairie for miles. If this Is true
then the worst has not come and the present
fall in the river is simply Q result of the
upper gorge. The, Sibley island gorge is
hours and this will greatly increase the vol
ume of water.
